Force reinstall extensions #3740
Comments
How exactly would reinstall fix this when reinstallation is literately that, uninstall, restart and install.
Probably because your backup had extensions in version that no longer work with the latest Playnite. This is what extension update is for. "Force" reinstall would not help at all, whatever that means. |
Also forgot to mention that extension update is clean install. Playnite completely removes extension install folder and replaces it with new version. |
The idea is an overall button that allows a player to press said button and get all extensions reinstalled. It's literally just making the entire thing as one button without manually going through multiple extensions. It can help with corruption or forcing Playnite to install the latest applicable version. |
While it's lazy, sometimes you'd rather just have one button than going to Add-ons, uninstall each one, close, restart, and then go and install each one again (and forget a certain extension you were using in the process). |
Feature description
This idea implements a form of "force reinstallation" of the extensions, just in case something broke that is not easily fixed by uninstalling, restarting, and reinstalling each and every one of them.
For context, I've just reset my PC, and after downloading Playnite (while restoring the old data), most of the extensions fail to load except for those that recently updated.
